Anyone fancy a weekend rideout to North Wales in early Sept?

[Richie B]

Just got back from a weekend in Snowdonia and, despite dodgy weather, had a cracking time. Some good roads & amazing scenery. So good I wanna do it again. The end of the season is drawing near!

Let me know if anyone is up for it. Camping or bunkhouse.

there might be a few takers after this weekends Skye trip.

Yep, I'd be up for a weekend in N. Wales.

Let's have a date and the cost of camping vs hiring a bunkhouse?

[Darkenbad]

I would be up for this, I know most of the cafes in the area.

It's looking good then. May have to slip to mid September though if thats OK. Will dig out some dates/prices and let you know.

I'd be up for it! Timing needs to be right though, the later the better for me as I'm scooting off to Hungary shortly and not sure how long I'll be!

How does 16-18 Sept sound? I could do with a rough idea where people will be coming from so I can think of a place to meet up. We can do a two-nighter (incl Friday) or a one-nighter leaving Saturday morning. Let me know your thoughts. Personally, I will probably do the two nights but those who can't haggle the time off work/get a pass from 'er indoors may want to meet up along the way.

First Ideas are: Meet up Fri night at Craig-Y-Nos (near Brecon) - Stay at Craig-Y-Nos Castle (they have budget accomodation out back!). Leave early Sat morning for Betws-y-Coed taking in the Elan Valley. Maybe meet up with those joining us Saturday (Abergavenny Bus Station / Shrewsbury/or wherever's suitable). Lunch at Eric Jones's Cafe (Tremadog) admiring jealously the other bikes. Afternoon riding around the mountains. Evening drinking in the Royal Oak/wherever. Bunkhouse overnight (TBC). Then put it to the group for ideas for the following morning. Afternoon ride home.

Please let me know any ideas you may have. I am away in Turkey tomorrow for a week, back on 14 August.

All the best, Richie

Sounds like a good trip - am away to Munich for beer festival at end of Sept, but if date is ok I would like to go. Are the sheep as pretty as the ones we met in Scotland?
